While I would have agreed with this in the past, I think Smith’s game has looked a bit more focused of late. Whether it be the late period Edler hit, or players crashing the net, he usually gets involved in scrums and face washes. Haven’t seen that lately and he seems more keen to focus on stopping the puck and making good plays with it when he leaves the crease. I think it’s a good sign the more he lets the garbage fights around the net slide.
